Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.51664 of 2021(2) dt.24-12-2021 2/2 petitioner was arrested in Mohania P.S. Case No. 334 of 2020 where he confessed that on 13.10.2021 he had unloaded 800 cartons of liquor from a truck at Illahibag.

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that nothing has been recovered from his possession and he has been falsely implicated in this case based on his own confessional statement in a different case where it is alleged that he confessed that on 13.10.2021 he had unloaded 800 cartons of liquor. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner.
